Timed Up and Goactivities of daily livingelderlyThe Timed Up and Go (TUG) assesses functional mobility. The clinical usefulness and interpretation of cutoff scores for the original TUG, however, is unclear with community ambulators. Adding a cognitive or manual task to the TUG or manipulating ...
*ICF = International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health; SPWT = Self-Paced Walk Test; SCT = Stair Climb Test; 6MWT = Six-Minute Walk Test; CST = Chair Stand Test; TUG = Timed Up & Go; LCT = Lift and Carry Test. Practical Application How to obtain. No formal instruc...
The timed up and go (TUG) test [1,2] is widely used in elderly patients with a range of mobility impairments for evaluating basic locomotor activities (i.e. standing up, walking, turning around and sitting down). In this patients’ population, the TUG test is a common outcome measure ...
Functional measures included the Timed Up and Go test (TUG), the five times sit-to-stand test (5-STS) and handgrip strength. Gait parameters were obtained using the GAITRite® system. Results Participants with a fear of falling were frailer and presented more depressive symptoms and worse ...
Score interpretation. Mean SD normative speed ref- erence values for healthy adults (30): woman age 50–59 years, 1.40 0.15 meters/second (height normalized to 0.86); man age 50–59 years, 1.39 0.23 meters/second (height normalized to 0.78); woman age 60–69 years, 1.28 0.18 meters/seco...
RGS-TUG score: a composite score of relative grip strength and timed up and go test, with 4 indicating best physical function and 0 indicating poorest physical function; Underweight: BMI <18.5 kg/m2; Normal weight: 18.5 kg/m2≤ BMI <25 kg/m2; Overweight/obesity: BMI ≥25 kg/m2; Abbrevi...
One-minute stair climbing, 50-ft walk and timed up-and-go displayed adequate responsiveness (≥ 80% of hypotheses confirmed), while 5-min walk did not (40% of hypotheses confirmed). The absolute MICs for improvement were 45.5 m for 5-min walk, 20.0 steps for 1-min stair climbing, ...
Background Two-minute walk test (2MWT) and the Timed Up and Go test (TUG) are simple, quick, and can be applied in a short time as part of the routine medical examination. They were shown to be reliable and valid tests in many patient groups. The aims of the present study were: ...
1,2 Sleep disturbances are among its most common manifestations: Excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) and nocturnal sleep fragmentation affect up to 90% of patients with PD.3,4 Sleep disturbances reduce quality of life, impair daytime functioning, and are associated with motor vehicle crashes.5-7 ...
The present study aimed to evaluate the reliability and concurrent criterion-related validity of the accelerations with an iPhone 4® in an Extended Timed Get Up and Go test. Extended Timed Get Up and Go is a clinical test with that the patient get up from the chair and walking ten ...
